Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.3 - April 2019

Name of Product:

Oracle AutoVue 21.1.0

Product Description:

Enterprise visualization solution for viewing and collaborating on documents of different formats

Date:

25-Apr-2022

Archive Note:

This VPAT applies to only version 21.1.0 prior to 02-Aug-2023. It does not apply to any versions of Oracle AutoVue after this. This VPAT has been superseded by Oracle AutoVue (updated) 21.1.0.

Contact Information:

accessible_ww@oracle.com

Notes:

AutoVue's primary function is as a "visualization tool". The main panel renders an image from various Office, graphic, and CAD software packages. This image is a pixelated representation of the file and is not accessible by screen readers. However the AutoVue menus, tabs, tool bars, and task bars are.

Evaluation Methods Used:

Oracle's policy is to design, develop and test both products and documentation to be accessible. The recommended styles of testing for accessibility include: (i) algorithmic automated tests, (ii) human judgement tests such as tool-assisted tests, visual inspection and manual operation, and (iii) testing with assistive technology by people with and without disabilities. Additional information about Oracle's accessibility program is available on http://www.oracle.com/corporate/accessibility/index.html
